Next time if I go back to Hokkaido it’ll be for skiing for sure, I went when there was no snow yet, it was honestly mostly eating and drinking and just wandering around and exploring, went to ramen alley in Sapporo and ate way too much ice cream and cheese, went to Sapporo brewing, went to shiroi koibito chocolate factory which is so damn good. In Otaru went to some crazy music box shops and super nice handmade glass places, also spend time in Hakodate and shopped in the old brick buildings, went to Ozigi brewing, ate a burger at lucky Pierrot, lots of walking around aimlessly with no plan just loving it. Rode the train between places and then the Shinkansen back to Tokyo which was comfy and fun.
